I have some of this set of retro silverware pictured with a place setting of my Franciscan Starburst on my former Noguchi Cyclone cafe table (sold it last weekend) and have had a few inquiries about it. I feel so guilty about getting to this only just now but I forgot where I put the set after shooting those pics!

Light green color in excellent condition, without plastic sleeves. Can you give me an idea of price and an outlet to where I might be able to sell them?
